The bamboo is a potentially promising material that comes demonstrating great qualities for the civil construction. It is a light, flexible materials and of easy to handly. Its slightness associate with one high strength becomes it a strong candidate to substitute the steel in structures of reinforced concrete. This work has as objective to study the durability of the used of treated bamboo´s reinforcement in columns of reinforced concrete. A bibliographical revision on the behavior of the reinforcement and the forms of adjusted treatment of the bamboo for the good performance of the bamboo was made as reinforcement in concrete structures. They had been tested until the reinforcement rupture, columns with bamboo and steel submitted to loading, in dated previous work of 2002. Mechanical tests had been carried through in specimens of bamboo removed of columns fractured, with the aim of analyze its strength after four years, where these bars had remained inserted in the concrete parts. The result had shown that it did not have loss of the mechanical characteristics of the bamboo beyond not presenting indications of alkaline attacks in its vascular system. One concluded that the treatment carried through of surface of the bamboo, before its insertion in the concrete, using the product Sikadur 32 gel, revealed be efficient in the maintenance of the mechanical properties of the reinforcement. In this way, can be conclude after characterization of the susceptibility of the bamboo to the degradation for insert in the concrete, is not occurs if this reinforcement has been conveniently treated. A contribution to the determination of the degree of reliability of the use of this natural material in structures of reinforced concrete is given.
